Privacy Policy
Last updated June 29, 2020
We collect data to better understand what kinds of topics and information you're likely interested in, so that we can offer you the products and services you actually want. We do not sell your data to any outside entity. This privacy policy applies to all information collected through the Osborne Coinage and its divisions’ websites (e.g. osbornecoin.com, osbornemint.com, tokensdirect.com, tokensdirectstore.com, shop-the-mint.com, vanbrooktokens.com), mobile app(s), services, telephone, online chat, email, marketing communications, social media (Facebook, Instagram) and events, including information collected via text-in or offline at events. Collectively these are referred to below as Sites or Apps. Osborne Coinage and its divisions (Osborne Mint, TokensDirect, and Van Brook of Lexington) will hereafter be collectively referred to as “Osborne” or “Osborne Coinage”.
- Information We Collect
- Personal information you disclose to us
We may collect all personal information that you provide to us, including, but not limited to, name, address, contact information, login information, business relationships, demographics, skills, and payment information. We collect personal information that you provide to us when registering and/or completing forms on any of the Sites or Apps, including when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, when participating in activities on the Sites or Apps (such as posting messages in our online forums or entering competitions, contests or giveaways), when making payments, or otherwise contacting us. This may include information we collect from you “offline”, such as when you attend or participate in an event or tradeshow, or when we interact with you in other ways in person. The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Sites or Apps, the choices you make and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect can include the following:
Name and Contact Data.
We collect your first and last name, email address, postal address, phone number, and other similar contact data.
Credentials.
We collect all login credentials, including passwords and challenge questions used for authentication and account access.
Payment Data.
We collect data necessary to process your payment if you make purchases, such as your payment instrument number (such as a credit card number), and the security code associated with your payment instrument. We do not store your credit card number or bank account numbers, except as required by law or with your consent. All payment data is also stored by our payment processor and you should review its privacy policies and contact the payment processor directly to respond to your questions. You may request contact information about our payment processor(s) at any time.
Social Media Login Data.
We may provide you with the option to register using social media account details, like your Facebook, Twitter or other social media account. If you choose to register in this way, we will collect the Information described in section 6. “Use of social logins” below. In some cases, we will use a third-party tool (eg. Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube) as a way for you to register for a web event, in which case we may collect your personal information from that third-party supplier.
You agree to provide us with accurate and complete personal information, and you are solely responsible for the accuracy of all information you provide to us.
- Information automatically collected
As is common on many websites and apps, some information – such as IP address and/or browser and device characteristics – is collected automatically when you visit our Sites or Apps. We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Sites or Apps.
Unless otherwise stated, we do not share information which may reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information), but we may share information which includes device and usage information, your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Sites or Apps and other technical information.
This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Sites or Apps, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes, but in certain circumstances we share part of this information with third parties such as web hosts and database management companies. You may request information concerning the identity of these third parties at any time.
Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. You can find out more about this in section 4 below titled “Cookies and Similar Technologies”.
- Information collected through our Sites or Apps
We may collect information regarding your geolocation, mobile device, or push notifications when you use our website or apps. If you use our Website or Apps, we may also collect the following information:
Mobile Device Data.

- Information collected from other sources
We may collect and use data from public databases, marketing suppliers, social media platforms (including Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, etc.), and other outside sources, to help us understand what kinds of topics might be most relevant to you, including web referrer information and remarketing pixels. This information may also be used by us to pre-populate forms and/or target our promotions, products and services to you.
We recognize that sometimes the information we collect from third parties is changed without our knowledge, and not updated in our systems. As with the information you provide to us directly, you are solely responsible for the accuracy of information you provide to third parties which we may collect.

- Use of cookies and other tracking technologies
We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information. We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information, or to recognize you when you visit our Sites and Apps. This section explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies? Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website and/or apps. Cookies are widely used by website and app owners in order to make their websites and apps work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website or app owner (in this case, Osborne Coinage) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website or app owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website or app (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer or mobile device both when it visits the website or app in question and also when it visits certain other websites or apps.
Why do we use cookies? We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Sites and Apps to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Sites and Apps. Third parties serve cookies through our Sites and Apps for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Sites and Apps and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Sites or Apps, and parts therein, you visit):
Performance and functionality cookies:
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Sites and Apps but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable.
Analytics and customization cookies:
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Sites and Apps are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Sites and Apps for you.
Social networking cookies:
These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Sites and Apps through third party social networking and other websites and apps. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes too.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Sites or Apps. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Sites and Apps to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Sites and Apps from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by setting or amending your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be limited. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information. The same applies to the use of our Apps, to the extent a technological ability to do so exists. In addition, our advertising messages offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.
If you would like to find out more information, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com, or conduct your own research on opting out of advertising networks.
- Use of Social Logins
If you choose to register or log in to our websites using a social media account, or otherwise access any of our Sites or Apps (or products/services thereon), we may gain access to certain information about you. Our Sites or Apps may offer you the ability to register and login using your third party social media account details (like your Facebook or Twitter logins). Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, profile picture as well as other information you choose to make public. We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this privacy policy or that are otherwise made clear to you on the Sites or Apps. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third party social media provider. We recommend that you review each respective social media company’s privacy policy to understand how they collect, use and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
- How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law. We may keep such information indefinitely, archive it, or delete/destroy it, in our sole discretion, at any time, and we make no warranty or representation concerning the length of time we may retain, delete, or archive your information. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to maintain your personal information, we will either archive, delete or anonymize it.
- How We Keep Your Information Safe
We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that any technological measure, the internet, or hardware or software, or any other hardware, software, app, or website, is 100% secure. Although we will make reasonable business efforts to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Sites or Apps is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.
